November Already!

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His faithful love endures forever. 
1 Chronicles 16:34


What a relief to know that His love endures in and out of season.  When this year ends and the next begins, His love stays the same. 



This month, we were excited to finally teach a class at the Bible institute together!  It was my first time teaching (since I graduated in May), and we had a blast!



Our students in Leon (five hours north) were eager to absorb the 16 hour material on Children's Ministry.  


And, while we were in Leon, we got to do training for children's workers at two churches: "House of Grace" and "Tree of Life."


For us it's an honor to inspire as many as we can towards the joy of training young ones.  Kids are soaking up messages constantly.    


And it's our job to teach them the best one!  His story and His love and His purpose is so big that it becomes new for us as we pass it on to them.    


Ok, so some of you are probably wondering about the New York photos.  Well, Xaume had been asking me for the past several months to go.  It was dream of his.


So, after getting to Ohio, we took off for a couple day tour of the city.  Special thanks to my brother-in-law, John, and my parents for making this awesome adventure possible!  


We've been so blessed to spend time with family: both mine and our Ohio church family.  This weekend we taught at Heritage Kids Church! 



While we taught about gratitude, we had the opportunity to thank them for their generosity in supporting us with their offerings all last year!  Thank you kids! God honors your giving.  


We'll be here in Ohio through Christmas and we'd love to see some of you who are so faithful to read and support us. On December 14th, you are welcome to visit us for an open house from 1-5pm at my parent's home.  Just let us know you're coming :) 

My grandparents (Dad's parents) just had their 65th anniversary and we were here to congratulate them!  

Please pray for God to continue to use our time here for His glory.  
It's already been such a gift. Thank you Father!

Persevere!

Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer .   -Romans 12:12 This word hit me hard at the women's retreat we attended at the beginning of the month. After my "I-don't-want-to-suffer" breakdown, God sweetly reminded me of His heart: Rejoice in the love of my salvation! It's not the suffering we're called to, but the perseverance through it to produce in us the joy and privilege of getting to walk WITH Him... And along the way we get to accompany others - praying  that they encounter Him!  Moments like this - even when just a few take look at God's Word - are glimpses of hope. Pray with us for these ones to hunger for more, seeking after Him with all their hearts! Many are facing family difficulties, pursuing false gods (namely, "la muerte"/ saint death), struggling with addictions, violence, apathy, etc. This month we had a couple good times with some of the Twist and Crece church leaders.  Special praise for Karla as she h...

His Imagination

What eye did not see and ear did not hear, and what never entered the human mind -- God prepared this for those who love Him.  - 1 Corinthians 2:9 It’s been a month of lots of emotions. From baptisms, to celebrating three years of Twist Kids’ Club Ecatepec,  to delegating leadership to some of our team, to kids finishing the school year, to travel (the kids and I to Ohio and Xau to ministry trips)…  The constant through it all is that He is our Source. He just keeps reminding me: “Just be with Me.”  We weren’t sure that anyone was going to be baptized at our semi-annual date, but were so excited to see three young men say "yes" to the invitation. More than the baptism itself, it's the fact that they've chosen to follow Christ. Pictured here is Manuel. He’s been reading the Bible for himself and is really getting it. Please pray for their constant protection and growth. Praise God for Brayan and Hector who have specifically sown into these young lives.  Yotzan, C...

Every Step

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; a light has dawned on those living in the land of darkness. - Isaiah 9:2 Praise God for His light that breaks through our darkness!  This month I wanted to highlight a few testimonies from the year, starting with two key encounters since we've been back this fall.  On two unrelated occasions, we were able to sit down with beloved church members to work through and minister deliverance in areas of bondage in their lives. Praise God for His Spirit who moves us to confession and repentance and works to restore us by the power of His Word.  Pray for more of these times - that we may all be delivered from evil - just as Jesus prayed.     Training seminar for children's workers at this church: Eliaquim. It was an edifying and powerful time as they were touched by Father's heart for young ones. Jocelyn (above) & Karla: two more testimonies.  Karla started volunteering in Twist in 2023, but after star...
